Most people know him as Dirt. The nickname came from one of his dad’s rodeo buddies before he was a year old, around the same time his dad put a rope in his hand. Both stuck. Dirt was born in Valentine, Nebraska, and raised in Chadron, where agriculture and rodeo were part of everyday life. He enrolled in college, but he is quick to joke that enrolling was about as far as he got. What he knows came from experience, a willingness to keep learning, a good mentor and faith.

After moving to Colorado in 1990, Dirt found his way into the seed business in 1993. He knew almost immediately that he wanted to make a career of it. He has been part of Buffalo Brand Seed from the start and now spends much of his time planning where the company goes next. He may joke that he has become “overhead,” but he still looks forward to visiting customers and walking fields with growers.

Dirt and his wife, Sherry, have been married for 31 years and have two daughters, Ashley and Amanda. Rodeo remains a family passion, and they enjoy competing around the country. The common thread through Dirt’s life is people. He enjoys helping customers, encouraging others and reminding them of something his dad taught him: “You can do anything.”

His favorite verse is Philippians 3:14: “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
